Some might say that everyone's a winner at an event at which more than 4,300 beers from more than 650 U.S. breweries are sampled during the course of just three days.

But unbenknownst to some, there are actual winners at the annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver, too - about 250 of them, in fact, recipients of bronze, silver and gold medals awarded in 84 different categories.
